Valuation Services

Funds, family offices, and like investment vehicles provide tremendous value to their clients and investors by leveraging skills, contacts, and deal transaction expertise. However, they present unique and direct risks requiring expert risk management. For investors, there is nothing more important than accurate, transparent, and timely information. In a world of changing variables and uncertainties, investment values can change quickly. Many times, valuations can suggest new strategies that provide opportunities for investment improvement.

BPA has deep experience in all types of assets, risk tolerances and business models. We address complex issues and provide reasoned, accurate responses, using statistical and analytical tools coupled with years of in depth experience to value loan portfolios, individual assets and other complex financial instruments. Our valuation approaches offer clients strategies to reduce risk and maximize opportunities.

BPA employs several approaches to valuation. The specific methodology used is determined by the type of asset, servicing, demographics, macro-economic conditions, regulatory impact and other factors. There is no “one size fits all” approach with valuations, which is why BPA is a preferred source for independent valuations.

Various types of underlying assets, including consumer and commercial loans, receivables, real estate, complex financial instruments and fixed assets can be modeled and valued profit. Valuation results can also increase confidence in business decisions and ensure issues are addressed proactively to provide enhanced results. BPA analytics and tools generate accurate results and are used in strategic planning as well as litigation and disputes.

  • Real estate property portfolios to maximize returns while minimizing risk exposure to improve profitability or capital efficiency
